Friends Of The Troops is an organization. Is it correct to say Friends Of The Troops is or are.?

Need an English teacher. Friends Of The Troops , Inc. is an organization. Would you say Friends Of the Troops is sending cookies, or Friends Of the Troops are sending cookies.

I'm not an english teacher, but I can confidently say "is" is the word you are looking for.



This is because "Friends of the Troops" is a singlular noun: It's ONE organization.



If you were going to say more than one organization: The Girlscouts of America and Friends of the Troops ARE sending cookies.



Friends Of The Troops is an organization. Is it correct to say Friends Of The Troops is or are.?hidden myspace myspace.com



is
Friends would be the subject of the sentence. Even though one organization is sending the cookies. Grammatical the word "Friends" is the subject of the sentence.



So it should be:



Friends of the Troops are sending cookies.



Friends of the Library were having a book sale.



Boy Scouts of America are having a jamboree.
